Introduction

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile

application that allows you to back up and recover the primary hard drive

on the PC. The application works within Windows to create backups of

Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to

occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated

manually. Important files can be archived separately from regular

backups. Recovery Points and File Backups can be copied to CD or DVD

discs, if the appropriate hardware is installed, while all backups can be

copied to network or secondary hard disks. All of these features make the

HP Backup and Recovery Manager a necessary tool to ensure the security

of your data.

Installation

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is available in two forms:

1. Shipped preinstalled on the computer

2. Shipped with HP add-on hardware

How to Install

When preinstalled on the computer, HP Backup and Recovery Manager is

automatically part of the Recovery Partition and when created, the

Recovery Disc Set. This application is already resident on the computer

and will be automatically deployed again when the system is recovered.

When included as part of an HP hardware purchase, the HP Backup and

Recovery Manager is easily installed by running the setup.exe application

from the CD.

HP Backup and Recovery Manager

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is a highly versatile application for

ensuring the continued security of the system hard drive. Backups can be

scheduled to occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be

initiated manually.

•Recovery Points are created to back up the entire system

incrementally

•Entire Drive Backups are created to back up the entire system in

a single archive.

•File Backups are created to back up individual files.

Recovery Points and File Backups can be saved to CD or DVD, if the

appropriate hardware is installed, while all backups can be copied to

network or secondary hard disks.

Reminders

Upon installation, the HP Backup and Recovery Manager will remind the

user to create the Recovery Disc Set immediately to ensure that there is a

backup in a place other than the primary hard drive. This reminder can be

delayed for a week at a time. On the fourth display, an additional option

appears. Selecting this option disables the reminder permanently.

Note: HP highly recommends creating the Recovery Disc Set immediately.

Scheduled Backups

The HP Backup and Recovery Manager provides a convenient scheduling

utility. Once configured, scheduled backups require no user intervention.

include:

disk space. To access the Recovery Point Manager and manage Recovery

Points:

8. It is possible to delete all Recovery Points back to a specific time or

move all Recovery Points to CD or DVD disc with appropriate

hardware. Select an option and follow the wizard to finish.

Note: As Recovery Points are incremental, deleting one Recovery

Point also deletes all subsequent Recovery Points. Each Recovery

Point location is independent of the others, as well. For example,

Recovery Points created on the network are incremental, but

independent of Recovery Points stored on an external hard drive. If a

Recovery Point is deleted from the network location, this affects only

the Recovery Points in that network location and not other locations.

Saving Backups to Network or CD/DVD

Recovery Points, Entire Drive Backups and File Backups may be saved to a

Network Drive, while Recovery Points and File Backups may be burned to

CD/DVD, depending on hardware available. These discs can be used with

the Recovery Disc Set created by Recovery Media Creator to recover the

system fully, up to the moment the last archive was created.

File Backups may be saved to network, secondary hard drive or CD/DVD

during the backup creation process, while Entire Drive Backups may be

saved to Network or secondary hard drive.

1. On the Windows Start Menu, select HP Backup and Recovery.

Backup entire hard drive

to create

an Entire Drive Backup. Click Next

to continue.

drive or, for File Backups only, create CDs or DVDs.

from that process.
